Potato Lasagna


Lasagna has got to be one of the BEST Itailian foods ever! This is an "Americanized" version, it's pretty good too, and maybe quicker. I bet even garfield would eat it! Well, he eats almost anything. LOL Someone at my church brings it to potluck once a month, and it's sooo good, I had to try making it myself.

All you gotta do is... get a large cassarole dish...



  • fry up a couple onions,

  • cook up some lasagna noodles (half a box),

  • get some shredded cheese (or goat cheese, which I like)

  • and mash up some potatoes. (The mashed potatoes should have a bit more milk than usual because they need to be easier to spread.)'

  • add a Tablespoon or two of dried Parsley

If you're short on time, (or really hungry) use potato buds instead of having to peel and mash 5 lbs. of potatoes! I think when I used the potato buds I made 14 servings (something like half the box).


Layer those things together.

Set the oven to 350-400 degrees and bake for like a half hour or so. Just keep an eye on it until it looks firm enough.

APPLE MUFFINS!!!

I cannot BELIEVE it's been a year since anyone has posted!!! I think we need more contributers and each take a week and each do a new recipe like every month. Anyway.
TWO OF MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST FOODS IN ONE! Oatmeal, and apples! or muffins and apples, whichever one sounds better.
Here's a little quicky recipe I just cooked up this morning. It's very filling, yummy, and healthy! It's by Diane Flemons.

Breakfast Apple Muffins
4 cups quick oats
4 cups applesauce (a large jar)
2/3 cup oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup raisins
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup sunflower seeds or chopped nuts (ex sliced almonds, walnuts, pecans etc...)


Mix all ingredients well and dump into oiled muffin pans. (Fills at least 2 muffin trays).
Top with brown sugar if desired before baking..
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until brown.
Cool a bit before removing from pan.
You can cut the recipe in half if you have a smaller family or appetite. :) Believe me, they'll be gone before you know it!
